OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF RADIATING: CONDENSlNG-COIL.

SPECIFXCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,07'7, dated April 26, 1904.

Application filed April 24, 1903i To all whmn, it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ROBERT J ARDINE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland, county of Ouyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Radiating Condensing-Coils, of which the following is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish itfrom other inventions.

My invention relates to coils for condensing or cooling fluids, and is particularly adapted for use in the construction and operation of automobiles.

The object of the said invention is to provide a coil of saidcharacter which is economical of construction and operation and which may be readily and quickly repaired.

The invention consists of means hereinafter fully described, and particularly set forth in the claims.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail certain mechanism embodying the invention, such disclosed means constituting but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.

In said annexed drawings, Figure I represents a vertical longitudinal cross-section'of a device embodying my invention with parts removed and as particularly adapted for use in automobiles. Fig. 11 represents a side elevation of'same, also with parts removed. Fig. III represents an enlarged elevational view of one of the radiating-fins used in said device, and Fig. IV represents a plan view of same. Fig. V represents an elevational view of a cover plate or head used in my said invention.

Two upright inclined members A and A. are formed with suitable feet a and secured relatively to each other by means of a top binding-plate B, preferably secured by means of screws 5, whereby such plate may be readily detached. Each such member is provided with a number of cavities a, intersecting their lateral faces and included between their front and back faces, as shown in Fig. 11. Each Serial No. 154,106. (No man.)

cavity,excepting the upper in member A and the lower in member A, is provided with two rows of alined holes, passing through the member from the back of the top and bottom of the cavity, respectively. The upper cavity in member A has but one such row of holes in the lower portion, the lower cavity in member A having but one such row in the upper portion, as shown in Fig. I. These cavities are arranged to end in difierent planes, so as to bring the lower row of. holes in a cavity in one member horizontally opposite an upper row of holes in a cavity in the other member, as shown. These oppositely-disposed rows of holes are connected by a number of ducts C equal tov the number of holes, forming parallel rows of ducts. Each cavity is covered .and closed by means of a cover-plate or head D, and all joints are made suitably water-tight. In order that the ducts may be removed for repair or for substitution by new ducts without inconvenience to the operator or damage to the ducts by reason of their being twisted or broken during such removal, the ends of the ducts are disposed opposite the outer openings of their respective cavities, whereby af ter removing the cover-plates 1) by means of a mallet and any suitable driving instrument the ducts may be driven through the opening on one side of the structure by pounding upon the opposite end of the duct at the point where it connects with the upright lateral member. The ducts are expanded in the lateral members, so as to make a tight connection therewith, but not so tight, however, as to prevent their being driven out of the lateral members without undue labor or without damage to the ducts. It is sometimes preferable to provide but one of the two lateral members with a removable cover, and in that case, inasmuch as the ducts could be removed from the structure through. one side only, they should be threaded into the lateral members or otherwise connected to them in a manner that will form a tight joint and. also one which will allow of their ready and convenient removal through one side only of the structure. Each' row of ducts is provided with a plurality of transverse fins E, provided withholes 0 for the reception of theducts, stamped with'pro- .jections e for making contact with the latter. The ducts are slid through the holes e,Whereby the fins bind the ducts rigidly together and form a heat-radiating surface. The lower cavity in member A is intersected by an inlet-opening a and the upper cavity in member A is intersected by an outlet-opening (f, with which the required pipes are connected. It will therefore be seen that the whole structure above described has its cavities and rows of ducts arranged in series, so that fluid may circulate through the rows successively, and that the whole is readily assembled or disclaims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention- 1. In a radiating condensing-coil, the combination of lateral members provided with oppositely-disposed cavities, a series of rows of ducts connecting such oppositely-disposed cavities, each row consisting of a plurality of ducts, and connecting cavities lying in different planes, an outer opening in such cavities in alinement with said ducts whereby the lat .ter may be removed therethrough, and a removable cover for closing such opening, said cavitles and rows of ducts being arranged and connected in series.

2. In a radiating condensing-coil, the combination of lateral members provided with oppositely-disposed cavities intersecting their lateral faces, a series of rows of ductsconnecting such oppositely-disposed cavities, each row consisting of a plurality of ducts, and connecting cavities lying in different planes, each duct arranged so as to be capable'of removal through one of its respective cavities, and a removable cover for closing each cavity, said cavities and rows being arranged and connected in series.

3. In a radiating condensing coil, the combination of'lateral members provided with oppositely-disposed cavities, a series of rows of ducts connecting such oppositely-disposed cavities, each row connecting cavities lying in different planes, and consisting of a plurality ofparallel ducts and provided with aplurality of transverse fins secured to each duct in said row, each such duct being capable of removal through one of its respective cavities, and a removable cover closing each cavity, said cavities and rows of ducts being all arranged and connected in series.

4. In a radiating condensing-coil, the combination of lateral members provided with oppositely-disposed cavities each intersected by an upper and a lower row of alined holes, a series of rows of ducts connecting such holes, such cavities and ducts being so disposed that the said ducts connect the upper row of holes in one cavity with the lower row of holes in the opposite cavity, each such duct being capable of removal through one of its respective cavities, and a removable cover closing the cavities, said cavities and rows of ducts being arranged and connected in series.

Signed by me this 4th day of April, 1903.

ROBERT JARDINE.
